Ewww! Until this mistake, we said "there are no bad restaurants in Lucca". Wrong. The Boar pasta had either no meat, or just some sand-grain size residue of meat. Tuna salad was out of a can of Starkist. The first thing I thought of with the pizza (the part that wasn't a wet glob in the middle) was a childhood...

*Nb photo was not how was presented. We shared 2 dishes and split them on our plate.
Food was fine and service was fine. Nothing to complain about as we had a nice, but not spectacular lunch.
Its in a pretty touristy location and the price was fine for what it was.

We had lunch here.To be honest we are not keen on restaurants that are too touristy but we were tired and wanted to take in the atmosphere of the piazza anfiteatre as we sat and ate.The 'everything freshly made'sign was promising.The food was above average for a place which obviously caters more for the visitors,the service efficient, the price a...

After walking for hours we happily rested at Old Charlie. We ordered a pizza to share and cold drinks. Service was friendly and efficient. Food came out very quickly and was delicious.

We were here in a hot evening, 6 days ago with my friends. The location is fantastic as the Piazza Anfiteatro at Old Charlie. We were served nice and the food was good. The "tagliata di manzo" was delicious, for the rest we had some pasta and a pizza, all of them was good. But most importantly service was friendly,...

So it's a tourist spot and you know the food won't be great - but it was kind of OK. The problem is the service - best part of an hour to get 3 pizzas and they all came out at different times. Not especially cheap - sure there are better nearby.
